Mailbag: The Anime Association of Fighting Sciences

Ben looks so much older with those glasses.

Edit: SUPREME camera zoom, Jan.

Man, this has to be the shakiest cam video on the site ?

That Framemeister is rad! They ain't cheap either

It's official; all critiques, reviews and impressions regarding any product on this site is tainted by the sheer fact it has been paid for with Yamcha money. It's just like the mafia, once you take that first dollar, that's it, no one can ever separate what might have been true opinion or an opinion steered by Yamcha's dirty money.

Your anti-Yamcha sentiments will NOT be tolerated.

@finstern: The phone was really hot, he had to swap hands often.

Also unrelated: JAN, YOU'RE TOO FUCKING LOUD IN EVERY SINGLE VIDEO!!! Could you adjust your mic just a little, please?

Rolling shutter for the win!

Why does Ben look like a Japanese high school student?

If no one wants that Lara Croft Memory Card, I was never able to get one and it always bummed me out >_>

Sweet Framemeister! Now both GB East & West can enjoy quality analog upscaling (with the proper SCART cables of course)!

Everyone, Ben's got it.

I'd totally buy a Supreme sticker with "ANIME" hastily scrawled on it from the GB store.

... Okay, that's a lie. I wouldn't risk infesting my house with anime. It always starts with a harmless joke sticker, then the next thing you know, you're marrying a body pillow. Anime: Not even once.

Can't believe Ben would allow himself to be filmed while so blatantly committing a fireable offense.

Awesome mailbag! Tons of great stuff, and the Framemeister is a gift not to just the crew but to the whole site.

General Chaos is SO GOOD!

I love how Jason was immediately smitten by that Framemeister. It's great to see such genuine gratitude. Y'all deserve that.

I got intense anxiety seeing Ben trying to put the sticker on. And it’s so off center. Omfg.

Great work guys, please remember these are my own demons and I hold no ill will towards the crew. If you need me I’ll be over here straightening the stapler and tape dispenser on my desk.

Can't believe Ben had the AUDACITY to put that sticker on the SNES. That's like recieving a free 1969 Boss 429 Mustang and putting a sticker on it

Braad!!

@shatteringlast I love General Chaos so much. I remember renting the game all the time and playing with my brother. He wanted to buy it for his birthday, but instead I convinced him to get Sports Talk Baseball instead. I am a bad brother. :

really a bed sheet.

i am LIVID that they got a SNES that wasn't yellowed and they put a STICKER on it

@jeff I can't believe you guys, alleged men of science, were being sponsored by Yamcha all along. All your research is tainted.

I dig the style more than the old style, but some more stable camerawork is needed and commit to shots more. Rolling shutter needs to be worked on.

That Lara Croft Memory Card is... really something... What's wrong with a bedsheet? Who couldn't use a bedsheet?

I have that copy of Princess Mononoke on Blu-ray, and I can't recommend it enough. Great movie!

Ben is so cringe sometimes.

jan equals bad camera

I love Ben.

I can't decide if that sticker is an improvement or not on the god awful NTSC SNES.

@parsnip: u wot m8

@bored_and_agitated: The NTSC SNES is an abomination compared to amazing Famicom and PAL design, that's all.

I always forget just how hideously ugly the American SNES is compared to the one the rest of the world got.

Please hire someone who can operate a handheld camera.

These mailbag vids are always spoiled by the shaking, and the scraping sounds on the mic.

why do people send them so much shit?

frame meister, good gift.

box of trash full of genesis games and a genesis? not so much.

I love you Jan, the camera work made me feel like I was watching a Jason Bourne movie.

I expected someone to drop the "Jesus Chris, that's Jason Bourne" meme at any moment

The mythos born out of that sticker application will haunt me for the years to come.

@parsnip: I will agree the super famicom looks better, but I think you’re forgetting to account for a very important part of this, my huge nostalgia.
